Whitney Houston - Love's In Need of Love Today - Dinner for President Nelson Mandela in 1994

White House 1994

[@starrhines4753]

Whitney Houston could take anybody song and make it her own, that's her lyrical genuis!

[@mashanomalbrough62]

Starr Hines her renditions are always good. Is this the same night she sang People by Striesand? The reporters talked through it. They didn't want the public to hear her out shining their Jewish princess.

[@MarciaSantos-ox1fk]

Fully agree.

[@skygazer6898]

Starr Hines No one can sing this song like George Michael, his version is sublime

[@GregoryCurtisRogersPark]

While she's fabulous!!!! This is always Stevie's. No one can do it like he does.

[@johnnypalermo1806]

@@GregoryCurtisRogersPark Gregory come back to reality. Love Stevie but there's no comparison and he and knew it. Watch how he performs live with her in multiple performances everyone has their lane and this woman was song personified. The artists song is no longer there's after Whitney covers it just ask Ms dolly parton. 🙂

[@klion3924]

Actually her last concert date at Radio City Hall was September 30, 1994 Friday, she did this concert on Tuesday October 4, 1994. She basically had no vocal rest from back to back dates in September. People do not understand how hard this lady WORKED!

[@janeknowles7654]

Wow she just kept going and was very very tired near the end ,’wow We Lost a giant of a talented lady

[@janeknowles7654]

Wow they stress her right out , my God

[@thtbulumad7290]

Don’t forget after this performance Mandela asked if she could perform in South Africa an entire leg was added onto her tour that was not planned after this night. She performed in South Africa in November of 1994 in Cape Town , Johannesburg , and Durban! 1992-1994 In the words of Whitney herself she was on a “whirlwind”

[@Kevin-s5n]

We know. She had drug addicted brothers and her parents to support. She was an ATM in life and death. Pat Houston is leaching every bit of DNA from her bones.

[@maryrad13]

yes, I can tell she was tired vocally and physically right away. Can't imagine the stress and exhaustion of her schedule. She pulled it off- as the pro she was. RIP

[@Justsang4me]

We Didnt know what We Had. That was pieces of Heaven fluttering in her throat... We Miss Ya Nipp..

[@Mrmineke1]

Yes!!!!

[@mineismine3951]

Speak on it💜💜💜

[@thetroytroycan]

amen

[@adaml72]

Her reaction, tears and affection toward Nelson Mandela made me cry. Such a beautiful moment. Now they're both no longer with us.

[@mariahyohannes]

She loved her some Nelson Mandela

[@mineismine3951]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@dawnpratt846]

Those were her true emotions and love for him 💞💞

[@jimdavis081]

She also blew a kiss to her band before walking off the stage. Grace and humility. Oh Whitney.

[@divasummer100]

She looks beyond stunning..... Her voice is so pure and honest. Love it.

[@dawnpratt846]

Yes , and we knew Whitney for more than " I'll always love you " she sang everything extremely well ‼️

[@neokid0213]

She was genuine, class, elegance, and humility

[@JerryGay-ob3xx]

I'm here March 8 2024! No one could hold a candle to Nippy. God needed her in Heaven

[@angelab4578]

Whitney had a big heart look at the way she embraces Mandela and burst into tears

[@MDBeaverhousand]

And I think I made out a "God bless you" to Mandela at the end of their embrace. 🤗

[@michele2855]

Angela B a very special person

[@bleu1306]

Amen to that!

[@TheStoreyBook]

She could talk any song and make you literally feel the lyrics. There will never be another like her.

[@needtoknowbasis3499]

What do you mean literally?

[@kyrisimmons9210]

I feel she fulfilled her purpose in this lifetime

[@kmaur21]

Kyri Simmons Definitely she made such angelic impact and brought a lot of love and joy to the earth

[@wallysmithii117]

So do I

[@towandasherrod2987]

Indeed she did s voice from heaven I miss you so much Nippy🎼🎼🎶🎶🎷

[@aaronshruby2915]

I'm always cursing her for not doing more quality work after Bodyguard, but this comment reminds me I'm still up at 2:19am watching nothing but Whitney on KZbin!!

[@goose1467]

She sure did she is singing with the angels

[@atonementatonement1886]

She loved Mandela and he LOVED AND ADORED HER

[@sistamaryclarence]

Literally everyone loved this beauty .. even Asama Bin Laden .. it was reported his favorite movie was the Bodyguard

[@fkharchi9515]

Oaussama benladen is american industry@@sistamaryclarence

[@greghunt7724]

we need this song more than ever today

[@klion3924]

Ricky Minor gets alot of joy watching Nippy sing. He always respected her work ethic and her ability to just keep singing no matter how vocally tired she was. She was a true vocal athlete.

[@bigboysingsj7578]

Whitney really admired Nelson M.!!! The tears coming down her face…almost like she was having a father/daughter moment!!

[@MsDorisann]

A real class act of a lady, The Worlds National Treasure, The Voice, Ms. Whitney Houston!!!!

[@dahomiee]

These generations have no clue how great Whitney was. Her voice should be treasured

[@dawnpratt846]

Nothing but love for Whitney Houston ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dawnpratt846]

She's definitely missed here on earth and no one could make you feel the way she did with her voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@terrencemalbrough5766]

her voice seems louder than the music. I love it bcuz her voice is right there in front out loud in its rich and beautiful tone. very special.

[@scheckdj3350]

This song belongs to Stevie Wonder but Whitney gets a pass because that Voice will never be again ...... I do believe she was the Best ever!!

[@angelasantiago7426]

scheckdj she gets a pass cause she could sing anything and do it in her own style without biting off the original

[@quarmainestephenson8403]

Angela Santiago yessssssss

[@maxshabazz1543]

This song belongs to the world and everyone. That’s why Stevie wrote it. Eternal peace fam.

[@FirsfruitsArmyGal]

I concur !

[@WisdomMinutesYVETTEKLECKLEY]

She was too big for this little band. My singing idol!!

[@TatianaProphetMusic]

Oh my God, she is absolutely incredible! And the best song, too!

[@joiisler8986]

Sweet ending.🥰 1994. His first year of freedom after a lifetime of undeserved imprisonment. Nelson Mandela deserved all the love he could get. So glad he got to hear THE VOICE in person. (Wish I could find the rest of the concert.) ♥️🕊

[@MrFloccus]

1994 is the best tone she has ever had

[@Cebo88]

1994 was a heck of a year. Whitney was on top of her game. South Africa was born.

[@marciolopesdesouza2700]

Essa mulher tinha uma presença de palco surreal , além da beleza física e voz e interpretação que a tornaram única e lendária ! Um evento com presidentes onde ela conseguia ser maior que o evento e passar uma imagem de super diva ! Ela realmente foi incrível , lendária é única !

[@MsDorisann]

[@Sirvalorsax]

Whitney at her finest. Classy, Elegant, and a Powerhouse vocalist! This is an incredible find dude! I wish these autotuned jagoffs would listen to this!

[@mouditaandrea9475]

i wish i could have taken care of her. i would have tried to protect her from her doubts and fears. what a beuaitufl being she was. rip

[@mineismine3951]

Seeing her cry breaks my heart even though happy tears. I know she knew how much she meant to so many of us.

Kirk Whalum on the sax!!!! amazing

[@shawnekia751]

Beautiful Woman ❤

[@95KIPPIE]

Her live vocals were better than her recordings!

[@MsAriesLuvsMJ]

I LOVE this song, it's a true song, and Nippy did a good singing it!!

[@marciolopesdesouza2700]

Que apresentação real e sincera ! ❤️e quanta classe ! Ela realmente tinha tudo

[@MrDTJones1]

So great. As a life long whitney fan...President Mandela had to be heartbroken when she passed too soon...before him. She had a voice. I honestly think he and Martin had The Voices. All due respect. They are all gone. But I think your voice can be used in music and in words. Powerfully. Mandela. Martin. Maya. Thank you. Inspiring. Whitney. You sang.

[@mineismine3951]

Yesssss! 💜💜💜💜

[@astridikastdejgaard1716]

Goosebumps every time I listen to her

[@dagll]

I would say this is a good thing; I love her tone- and especially when you feel as though you're there in the audience... which this offers!

[@Bushwick2678]

Beautiful Performance 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@lesaatuatasi6267]

Greatest of all time!! There will never be another😢

[@davidestebanarangoserrano723]

the voice , i love you whitney

[@MsJewels31]

Thanks for sharing! I miss and love this woman so much! Rest Easy Nippy

[@rurhieyoung9860]

Miss you Whitney and Bobbi ..Love you!!!

[@scottjones7689]

Nelson loved him some Whitney she traveled to Africa many times to sing for him , just the absolute Greatest for me love you Whitney 😢

[@klionsmith5672]

Her tour schedule was abuse Luther even said that was abuse all the touring she did.

[@1ladylane]

smh...so sad!!

[@donnytaylor9407]

Klion Smith she did use her voice alot you arent suppose to do that

[@whitneyhoustonstan2472]

Yes and over touring was the reason why her voice went down so fast in the 90’s. Everyone points the finger at drugs, but we have to remember she did drugs in the 80’s, when her voice was at its peak.

[@b2j924]

The same goes for mariah carey. Whitney n mariah where both over worked

[@trentoncrisp]

That's what happens when you have family and hangers on expecting you to pay them a wage for doing nothing.

[@urblack7954]

1:27 SO GOOD

[@yapgimkwee8842]

the joy 😊😜, the energy. she should sing at a wedding back then in. 1992, 1994., this song is so suitable for weddings

[@ayyyce]

Her talent was beyond simply the voice, it was also her lyrical genius. Her interpretation of song was absolutely incredible. But with a voice as versatile as hers, really anything she sang would sound amazing!

[@teresabillington9505]

A Stevie wonder song sung by the brilliant Whitney.❤RIP to you and your daughter Bobbie.

[@fastfreddy5523]

raw talent... missing from today's commercial music world.

[@mountainlinx]

Oooooh Lord! Whitnaaaaaaayyyy forever!

[@MarciaSantos-ox1fk]

Priceless performance.

[@augustocesarsantos450]

Bela interpretação ! Cantava muito essa moça. Uma pena ter partido tão cedo ...

[@THEWHATSPOPPINSHOW]

this recording was not of the best sound quality but for some reason it sounded really raw and real, it felt like you could really tell how whitney sounds, good upload!!

[@mineismine3951]

Yesss GOAT 💜💜💜

[@tomhowley6723]

FLAWLESS

[@loisyt57]

I love it Whitney you still the best

[@samiamehdi6817]

Magnifique et quelle classe

[@swicca5040]

So great so sweet the voice 😍💕❤️😍💓

[@bd3825]

That's my queen ❤💔❤💔❤

[@iurisdictiohomnes1287]

Magnifica reversión de un clásico del también genial Stevie Wonder. ¡Qué divina mujer!!

[@mariahyohannes]

Loved her tone in this performance

[@CastilloJazzLover]

She could sing through a tin can (sounds like that is what they gave her here) and still be amazing.

[@Trojan4u]

Best singer ever period.

[@valescarosa3379]

Quanto carinho e admiração pelo Mandela!!!Que lindo

[@Westarist]

Aint no way! I still love that girl!

[@maryrosehaynes46]

THIS PLAYED FOR MY FUNERAL TOO.

[@marydiniz2299]

The best a voice do Word ♥️🇧🇷

[@Optoedits]

wow unbelievable good thanks for the upload

[@houiej]

I think it was because the band was stripped down to just keyboard, guitar, bass and percussion/drums and saxophone. In a sense, Whitney's voice was on full display without any "distractions". But yeah, she sounded good as always and it was intimate sets like these that she loved performing in.

[@msiplin8613]

Statuesque in voice, body and presence 😘😘

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

What a voice. ♥️

[@yahsharelscrown7647]

Her Hugging and crying on papa Nelson Mandela🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@marciolopesdesouza2700]

Diva! Superstar

[@SerafiniAGaunt]

It's so cute how the guy in the background thinks Whitney is actually telling them "Good morning/evening" so he says "Thank you" at 0:32 and realizes she's actually singing

[@ninosimone]

lol

[@yvetterenee8256]

But, "Thank You" is an uncommon reply to "Good Morn or evening". Maybe he was talking to someone else. ☺

[@ravengeranium855]

Oh my ...I was literally laughing out loud... I was wondering what was that... Aaah RIP GOAT#thevoice You're missed dearly

[@petespirals]

❤❤❤

[@clesiolisboa5249]

Linda demais Whitney

Very Nice Ms. Houston

[@Lovetolivetruely]

[@cutienoli]
